I don’t understand how you interpret this to think he approves. Twice now it seems like you are just reaching for “another person said it was okay” without really digesting what they said. Where exactly did they say they were okay with this community? It seems like they very much said the opposite.

I reached out to him in private, I wasn’t going to copy our conversation as it is private.

I was very ready to move that community elsewhere, and I refrained from posting for a week before getting Gabe’s approval.
